School Days Over |
| Schooldays over, come on then John |
| Time to be getting your pit boots on |
| On with your sack and your moleskin trousers |
| Time you were on your way |
| Time you were learning the pitman’s job |
| And earning a pitman’s pay |
| Come on then Jim, it’s time to go |
| Time you were working down below |
| Time to be handling a pick and shovel |
| You start at the pits today |
| Time to be learning the collier’s job |
| And earning a collier’s pay |
| Come on then Dai, it’s nearly light |
| Time you were off to the anthracite |
| The morning mist is on the valley |
| It’s time you were on your way |
| Time you were learning the miner’s job |
| And earning a miner’s pay |
| Repeat First Verse |
